2022 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico [JS92][JD91][WS91][WA90]

Producer: Badia a Coltibuono Region: Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy Varietal: Sangiovese Year: 2022   James Suckling, 92 Points  "Notes of cooked strawberries, red licorice, blood orange and cedar. Medium body. Bright and racy with crunchy acidity and a flavorful finish."  Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points  "A youthful ruby/magenta, the 2021 Chianti Classico is pure, ripe, and inviting with aromas of cherry liqueur, candied roses, and fresh sweet Mediterranean herbs. This wine has wonderful transparency and clarity, with refreshing acidity, snappy lift, and ripe, fine tannins, as well as a stony underpinning and a lovely fresh lift of tomato leaf on the finish."  Wine Spectator, 91 Points  "A vibrant, even racy style, featuring cherry, pomegranate, rose hip and mineral aromas and flavors fused to a steely structure. Intense and elegant, this lingers, with fruit and stony mineral notes. Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. Best from 2026 through 2040. 12,900 cases mad
